The World of Deities

"We are very interested." Kelton said.

Su Ye thought for a while and said: "First of all, the current class distribution in Athens is very unbalanced. It can be said that there are only two layers, nobles and commoners. As for slaves, I also want to talk a lot, but apart from debt slaves, foreign slaves are not discussed. In other words, only the nobles actually hold power. This leads to the fact that magicians and warriors who continue to grow with their own efforts do not have much power and rights even if they reach the golden level."

"With the frequent occurrence of wars, these middle and low-level magicians and warriors have become the main forces influencing Athens, and these people have accumulated enough wealth through wars, plunder, hunting, exploration, etc. However, we have found that the nobles are against the war Contributions to the city and the city-states are getting lower and lower. Under this trend, the low- and middle-level people will inevitably accumulate considerable grievances, and they will inevitably accumulate strong needs. If they cannot meet the needs of these people, Athens will definitely Great chaos. Even if they are as strong as aristocrats, they will inevitably compromise. They cannot kill the commoners and leave a pure aristocratic world."

Everyone nodded gently.

"Secondly, the city-state is different from the country. We Athens is very big, but after all, it is a city-state. We are all people living in a city. Persia is different. Persia is an empire, and their cities are like grains of wheat sprinkled on the ground. , Endless, the destruction of any city will not affect the overall situation, so the upper class does not care about the lower class. The city of Athens is different, even if a block is destroyed, it will shake every Athenian."

"This kind of city-state is not a slave. It is destined to make the citizens of Athens think that the gap between people is not very large. It will not be like Persia, where the people worship the Persian king as a god. There are also various types of city-states and states. Various differences, such as population, ability to resist disasters, etc., all force the upper echelons to ignore the interests of civilians."

Fast praised: "This angle is very unique and insightful!"

Kelton and Nide nodded repeatedly.

"The third point is about culture and living conditions. Even if it is a demigod family, there is no permanent dominance..."

Su Ye said five points one after another, while also hiding some radical views.

"That mysterious organization didn't invite you, it's really their mistake." Fast sighed.

"So, how do you think Solon will reform." Naidel.

On the contrary, Su Ye was very cautious. Although Blue Star’s Solon’s reforms are well-known, it is impossible for Solon here to use the same reform method.

Blue Star’s Solon reforms in ancient Greece restored the once-appearing citizens’ assembly, and then created a four-hundred-member assembly, a civil jury, changed the law, and established a new class.

Before Solon, ancient Greece divided classes based on descent. After the reform, classes were divided based on possessions. According to annual income, they were divided into five hundred buckets of wheat, knights, yokes, and Japanese servants.

Obviously, Athens in this world pays more attention to power than wealth.

Su Yedao: "Not surprisingly, Solon will break the second class of nobility and common people, and add new classes, either one or two. For example, between common people and nobles, create a "knight class", let These people have powers similar to those of the nobles. Or, restore the citizens' assembly that once appeared, so that some Athenian citizens are eligible to participate in the political affairs of Athens. I feel that in order to win support, Solon will abolish debt slaves. After all, the dignified citizens of Athens It's cruel to be forced into slavery if you owe money. However, Solon probably doesn't have the energy to manage those foreign slaves."

"Your thoughts are a bit surprising." Kelton said.

"It's hard to tell." Nidel said.

Fast sighed and said: "I really want to grab you directly into the army and use the strength of the army to train you. Unfortunately, I can't delay you, Plato Academy is your best place to grow. "

"General, do you completely believe Su Ye's nonsense?" Kelton asked in surprise.

Faster said sternly: "Don't underestimate this young man. Because, not long ago, General Miteyade also said that Athens needs a new middle class, and Athens may also resume the citizens' assembly, even saying However, debt slavery should also be abolished. I only thought that he had felt it, but today I understand what he should have seen and expressed his views. The two people almost coincided."

"I'm sorry General, I made a mistake." Kelton didn't dare to talk back to Fast, because Fast hated to make mistakes and irrational words.

Fast's expression became pleasant. He patted Su Ye on the shoulder, and said, "I will tell General Mitaiard about today's affairs. He will definitely like you very much. Unfortunately, your rank is too low. Just grow up, Athens needs you!"

Kelton suddenly discovered that the salad for dinner today seemed to have put too much lemon juice, and his stomach was sour in his mouth.

He had never seen General Fast praise a person like this, and he was still so young.

"General, you passed the award. But one thing you said is right. I am still too young and I need to keep accumulating strength." Su Yedao.

Near the mountain gate, the carriage entered the next street, found a place to stop, a few people got off the car, and walked to the Municipal Square.

At this time, the Plaza Mayor was already crowded with tens of thousands of Athenian citizens, and the number was increasing.

On the municipal square and nearby roads, there are many magicians who are constantly releasing the suspended light, making it like daylight.

Su Ye even saw many civilians rushing here in tears.

As the flow of people continued to move forward, Su Ye and others finally arrived at the Municipal Square.

In the deepest part of the Municipal Square, on a makeshift wooden platform, an old man in a white robe stood there.

The old man only has a golden collar on his neck and no megaphone with a magic mustache, but every word he says can be spread throughout the city.

Su Ye looked at the person from a distance, recalling the information about Solon on the road before, and found that Solon was only 40 or 50 years old, but he looked close to 60 years old.

Perhaps Solon's appearance was very vicissitudes, and when he said those words, it made people more convincing.

Solon was thinner than he thought, his eye sockets were slightly sunken, his yellowish-brown skin was a little loose, and he was not tall and mighty, but his voice was full of power and his eyes were full of passion.

Solon's eyes seemed to reflect the light of all of Greece.

Perhaps it is his eyes that illuminate all of Greece.

At this time, Solon began to announce some of his political views.

"I think the greatest injustice, the greatest crime, and the greatest darkness in Athens are denying efforts! A person who spends his life's efforts to become a golden magician or golden warrior can still be treated like a dog by a noble! How absurd it is!"

"These warriors and magicians fought Persians and warcrafts. Their bones were scattered all over Greece, and the nobles? Sitting at home and enjoying the services of slaves, and those slaves, it is very likely that there are families of fallen heroes! This What an injustice!"

"I think Athens needs a new class, a class that recognizes hard work, a fair class, a new class that nobles can't trample!"
